That M.velvetosomma is very handsome, reminds me of a T.stirmi with a red bottom.

She just molted

That M. velvetosoma is a very, very nice spider... have they ever been bred in the US? I'm assuming not recently, if at all. Too bad!

Looks like I'm going to have to interrogate Brain to see the next time hes going to breed these.

I'm hoping to join him as a breeder if I can find a male..... big if.

Good luck with that, you and Brain are the only people I know of with them in the US.

there are plenty of MV out there, very few are cb, but plenty of WC. Hopefully I can find a male

Beautiful specimen. That's one of the good things about the terrestrial species; when they molt it's usually right out in the open like that, making the exuvium very easy to retrieve. The burrowers and arboreals that are prone to hiding always make you work to retrieve the exuvia.

I like to keep my old egg sacs. I fill them with cotton balls, and put em in a collectible card case. This one might be a little too big for that....
